What's with this guy?

Visitor's Question from a 21-30 year old FemaleI have known this guy for almost 8mo. We met at work and started going to lunch every week together. We have gone out several times for dinner and drinks and I have even stayed over at his place several times..in his bed, at his invitation..but he has never made a move. I am a terrible flirt because I'm so into him and although he doesn't seem to be put off by it he never contributes or really flirts back (in an obvious way). He bought me an xmas gift and has made some other meanigful gestures, but still I'm in the friend zone. We now live in different cities. He is coming to visit me and I want to tell him how I feel, but I don't want to scare him if he isn't ready for more yet. Should I just be patient and hope he comes around or should I be bold and try to kiss him? Should I ask if I can kiss him first or just go for it? Can he just be a little shy or does he just want to be friends, but likes the ego boost I give him by flirting? And men think women are confusing?? I think not!

RomanceClass.com AdviceThe only thing that comes to mind is that he is very shy.

You should take the initiative to let him know that you care for him and would like to have a physical relationship with him in addition to the friendship.
